What data does DataLedger provide?

DataLedger provides structured UK company financial data from Companies House electronic filings. Every company includes balance sheet data (assets, liabilities, equity) with current and previous year figures. We also include P&L data where companies are required to disclose it, pre-calculated financial ratios (debt-to-equity, debt-to-asset), growth indicators, employee counts, SIC codes, and company metadata. Coverage includes 5+ million UK companies.

How is DataLedger different from Companies House?

Companies House publishes raw filings that require manual processing. DataLedger transforms these filings into structured, analysis-ready data. We normalise balance sheets, calculate financial ratios, compute year-on-year growth rates, validate data quality, and provide everything in clean Excel/CSV files or via API. This saves hours of manual data cleaning and makes UK company data actually usable for business decisions.

Do all UK companies have balance sheet data?

Yes. Every company in the DataLedger dataset includes balance sheet data because under UK law, all companies that file accounts must submit a balance sheet regardless of size. Balance sheets show assets, liabilities, equity, and financial structure, often more reliable indicators of financial position than revenue alone. This is why DataLedger focuses on balance sheet-led analysis.

Sales and business development teams use DataLedger to qualify prospects by financial health and growth trajectory. Recruiters identify companies with expansion indicators to target firms likely hiring. Investors and private equity screen companies using balance sheet analysis. Software developers embed UK company financial intelligence into products. Analysts and researchers compare companies with consistent, structured data.
